Neighbor 'goes nuts,' destroys several homes with bulldozer (Washington State)

PORT ANGELES, Wash. -- Witnesses say a man upset with his neighbors went on a rampage with a bulldozer-like piece of logging machinery in a Port Angeles neighborhood, damaging four homes and knocking out power to thousands of people.

The Clallam County Sheriff's Office says it does not appear that anyone was injured during the incident that happened just after noon Friday along Pioneer Road. The suspect was arrested.

"A person with a piece of heavy equipment that was very upset, struck (four) homes in the area and also a truck," said Jim Borte with the Clallam County Sheriff's Department.

Keith Haynes lives near one of the damaged homes and told the Peninsula Daily News the man took a piece of logging equipment called a skidder and "just went nuts." 

Haynes said a woman inside one of the homes escaped unharmed, and the other home was unoccupied. Haynes said the houses were demolished.

Haynes said a new Ford truck also was damaged in the incident.

“It was like a war zone,” Haynes, a former law enforcement officer who has lived in that neighborhood for two years, told the paper.

True. But thats a dozer in the pic. Look at the blade. Granted, Dozers are used/rigged to skid too. But that’s a dozer.

Reminds me of the guy who armor plated a bulldozer and then rampaged through Granby, Colorado, smashing businesses and houses connected to those he thought had slighted him, even the town hall. Nobody could get to him in there. He inadvertently trapped himself in the basement of a building he took out and then killed himself.

This jerk made his living in doing low end logging jobs. Most of his equipment is junk.

FWIW, this happened about 4 miles from my house and I have known this meth freak for decades.

Lucky you ;)

We had a couple like that back in the Adirondacks before the Enviros put 99% of every logging business OUT of business.

Tanks are tough to get but the local rental yard can fix you up with a 890 that will wipe out a city block!

One more thing. I might wait a few days and call his lawyer to see if I can get a steal of a deal for that machine. I’d have fun with it on my property and then quick sell it. If I get it, I’ll take better pics and post ‘em.

I love playing in the dirt. ;>)
